Traffic

I hate traffic. Well I'm sure that everybody does. I just don’t understand if we are all going in the same direction what is the hold up? And how come when someone is pulled over or if there is an accident everyone has to slow down and look? I mean what exactly are we looking at or looking for? There wouldn’t be to much that you can do about whatever is going on unless you know the person then I could understand. Can we stop being so nosey and keep the traffic moving please.

Sleep Baby Sleep

I hated it when my baby would stay up at night and I couldn’t get any sleep. After awhile I found some strategies that worked out pretty well. I started doing the same bedtime routine so that my son would know that it was almost bedtime. We would eat dinner, take a bath and I would read bedtime stories. Then I would put a chair on the side of his bed and sit in it so that he would know that I was near but each night I would move the chair further and further out of the room. Now he sleeps like a baby. And so do I.

Potty Time

I had a rough time training my three year old son to go potty but we finally got it together. I started off with the same potty routine as the rest of the parents. Sit him down on the potty give some snacks or some toys and praise him when he did the do. Unfortunately that didn’t work for Mr. Christopher. I even tried to give him privacy by letting him go into the bathroom and closing the door. That didn’t go well either. I started to get a little stressed out because I was thinking I am a female how am I spouse to teach my son to go potty. So I thought that I would try letting him stand to go pee. It worked but then we had a new problem he had no aim. I had to try to figure out a way to get him to aim into the water. I put cheerios in the water and told him that he had to hit the cheerios. That worked out well. I’m proud of him and myself.

After Thanksgiving

I thought that I would enjoy after thanksgiving sales. It was my first time going and I hated it. Although there were good sales going on I couldn’t wait in the long lines to purchase anything, on top of trying to find parking. I’m surprised that no one gets hurt the way those ladies are out there shopping. Everyone has their walking shoes on and mean business.

Seat Belts

You always here horror stories about how people have gotten badly injured or killed for not wearing their seatbelts. So how come there are so many of us who don’t? Being safe and avoiding a high ticket is better that trying to look cool. Take the extra 5 seconds to click it.

To Military or Not to Military

I always wondered why you can go join the army at the age of 18 but you have to be 21 to buy liquor. I think that we should put a stop to that and I also think that they shouldn’t be able to draft people. How is this the “land of the free” when you can get snatched from off your living room couch and placed on a battle field? Boy do we have a way of contradicting ourselves.
